As I travel along this chosen road I feel the bonds of the past loosening and the possibilities of what can be are spread before me in wild, colorful disarray. I have only to reach out and embrace the choices I have made ~ thankful for the chance I've been given to recreate a life for myself. I am a living rainbow.

I have been working as a professional artist for twenty-nine years
now, after a public school education in which my focus was completely
art-centric. As a child I was always out in nature, in the woods and
along the creek beds of northern Pennsylvania. I developed a sense of
awe and respect for the natural world early on and that devotion has
never wavered.
Special allowances were made in the course of my education to
provide art instruction and the time I needed to focus on it. I studied
privately with some tremendous artists and worked with every sort
of material I could get my hands on to build my knowledge of
mediums.
Plants and flowers fascinated me with their lush shapes and
wonderful colors, and I was always interested in looking at botanical
renderings and nature studies. To me they were often cold and
impersonal, and that was not how I saw nature. I became captivated
with trying to capture and share the world as I saw it.
Welcome to my world.
